Top Ways To Prevent Seed and Soil Erosion In Hilly Regions

Have we ever wondered what methods have been practiced to cultivate in the hilly areas as the seeds are sown in plan regions? As the plan regions provide the conditions for crops' optimal growth, it is different for the crops grown in the hilly regions.

To describe it simply it is a difficult task to maintain the crops grown in such conditions. Therefore firstly to prevent crops from getting uprooted, the selection of true grasses is required which will resist soil erosion.

One of the easier and cost-effective ways to control these problems is using healthy grasses which will be able to help in smooth crop cultivation and prevents soil erosion. Proper knowledge in seeding will easily help to sow even light seeds in sloppy regions.

Here are some quick methods to prevent soil erosion and continue obtaining good-quality crops:-

Preparing a good base for sloppy hills

Growing crops requires planting grass seeds spread uniformly into the field. Seeds are to be distributed accordingly for obtaining healthy crops. Usage of good quality fertilizer is an assured element like Pennington UltraGreen Starter Fertilizer 22-23-4. It is an efficient promoter and boosts root growth, helping well-established grass seeds. This also enriches crops with beneficial nutrients and provides an additional green color.

Using Mats for stabilization

Using suitable seed starter Mats measuring 39 inches wide and 18 feet long, provides a good base for crops to grow uniformly. These mats can be easily cut using scissors, applying landscape staples will help the mat to get secured, preventing uncontrolled weeds and weed competition.

Regular Application of water on the matted area

Regular application of water helps to keep the soil moist. Water should be distributed once or twice per day. It helps the soil to remain moist, provide optimal conditions for the seed to germinate, and provides rapid seed emergence.

As the seed starter mats degrade on their own, therefore require less effort for its maintenance.

Practice of mowing

Grasses should be maintained and cut with not more than one-third of the grass's height. As the mats are netless therefore there is no issue related to tangling while practicing mowing or problems related to any materials getting stuck.
